DARYL L. DERRYBERRY – MEMBER
Daryl L. Derryberry is one of the two founding partners of the firm now known as Derryberry Zips Wade Lawhorn, PLLC (the “Firm”). Daryl and Craig Zips started the Firm in May, 2002 and have enjoyed great success since the Firm’s inception. Daryl’s legal career spans two decades and includes successfully securing jury verdicts and settlements on behalf of his clients in oil rig accidents, 18 wheeler accidents, medical negligence, products liability, broker malpractice, breach of fiduciary duty and other cases.

Daryl exclusively limits his practice to the representation of individuals and businesses who have been the victims of the negligent and wrongful acts of corporations and individuals.

“My philosophy is much more in tune with representing the victims of accidents as opposed to defending the corporations and individuals who were the cause of the accidents. In developing each case we pursue, we gain an intimate understanding of what our clients have experienced as a result of being harmed by the wrongful acts of others. I feel a tremendous amount of personal satisfaction and enjoyment from knowing I have been able to obtain a measure of justice in “righting wrongs” and helping those who need it the most.”

The Firm not only has the legal experience and ability to pursue justice for individuals and businesses who have been harmed by the acts of big corporations and others, but it also has the resources necessary to assist our clients in obtaining the justice they deserve.
